Good Luck Cleverclogs(up)

I dont think the univerisity would approve because as someone said below about the whole intellectual property stuff. When you submit your thesis you sign a declaration, and your supervisor might want you to publish papers. Also if you've already published papers from the thesis I would say the publishers might not approve either.

I'm waiting on my viva, I haven't been given a date yet. I'm going through the motions of panic, worry I'm going to fail, guiltly for not spending enough time on it and completley not caring because it's too late to change things. To top it off my sleeping schedule is a complete mess but I dont think it's related to my PhD because I'm still getting my 8hrs during the day.

I haven't looked at my thesis since I submitted(looked at it once I had submitted and found a nice big typo aside from this I havent looked at it) and am afraid too because everytime I look at work I have done I find some sort of mistake. Anyone else going through this? I don't have a job either so I have nothing to take my mind of it.

sleep!:-s

Is it possible to ask the person who wrote the dissertation for a copy? I don't know much about these things.

I went to bed at about midnight last night and got up at about nine this morning. I was still a bit tired so I hopefully will sleep well tonight again. I make my conclusion on this tomorrow :-)

Another few hours it will be bedtime. I'm not feeling hungry but I've been eating all day. I will be rolling out of bed tomorrow :$ I kept busy today so I wouldn't fall asleep, I know it's not a healthy thing to do, but I want to get my body clock sorted. If I can last another 5 hours it'll be fine :-)

I agree- It is soo annoying!

"in press" or "accepted for publication" or accepted

"submitted" if no decision has been made

7am and still awake, I'm not going to get any sleep now so I'm hoping this lack of nights sleep will help me get to sleep early tonight. I'm not tired now but I know I will be later :$

still awake :-(

I will be tired and grumpy tomorrow :-s:-s:-(

Thanks keep calm. I'm off to bed now and am determined to get up early tomorrow, even if I dont get to sleep! wish me luck!8-)

Update: I managed to get to sleep not long after midnight, and woke up just before nine this morning. I then realised I didnt need to get up for anything so I decided to have a 'bit' of a lie in, and have undone all my hard work by getting out of bed after lunchtime, I will have to go through another day of tiredness tomorrow now :-s

Hello DanB, I can't offer you any words of wisdom at the moment, as I'm awaiting a viva date. But I just wanted to say nerves can be a good thing, it shows you care enough about your PhD. Good luck (up)

Sneaks, that is so true! We're practically married to our PhDs. I'm finished mine now, thus we're in the process of divorce :-)

Congratulations on your new job Ace :-) I'm am still in the process of looking but I'm very determined to get one! I managed to get about 4 hours sleep, I got up at a reasonable hour and now I'm a bit tired and grumpy. I look forward to getting to sleep at an normal hour tonight :-) (fingers crossed)
